Karanian will also present images from the ancient Diasporan community of Jerusalem, a community that will be the subject of his future book. Many of the book's photographs were created along with co-photographer Robert Kurkjian, ALMA said in a press release. Matthew Karanian is a native of New Britain, CT. He practiced law for about a dozen years in Hartford, and he now has his own law firm in Pasadena, CA. Karanian first traveled to Armenia in 1995, to work at the American University of Armenia (AUA).
